I know, normally, long johns are thought of as being full length, but there was just this Short time When they stopped above the knee, and were in bright colours and trimmed around the edge in black lace.

I’m probably wrong in thinking early sixties. They could have been around a decade later. I’m also thinking that minis did not really come in until the late sixties or early 70s, depending on where you lived, ie much earlier in London and the south.

Long johns?
I thought they were ankle length?
Never saw them below short skirts in the 60s...

I don't think it was early in the sixties.

I remember them in red and black with round the bottom of the legs. Nice and warm.

Does anyone remember when long johns were fashionable for women - perhaps early in the sixties? They used to come in all sorts of colours and were often seen peeping below short skirts. I’ve a photo of my step sister wearing them, and I’m trying to date the photo. Thanks.
